hmmm...

Lemme clue you in on the real deal. Sure the 250's sweet spot is around 8k give or take. But ultimately, it boils down to two things; Are you happy? Is the bike happy? As your skills grow, you may shoot for rpm goals to get the most power out of the bike but as your just learning. Do what makes you feel good and have confidence on the bike. Even if that means putting around the corner in 2nd gear, going 20mph @5500 rpms.

The bike will be happy with this
The rider should happier with this
